Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes an amendment to Contract 21565 with NESC to bring high-speed fiber service to the 19 permanent and 38 temporary employees assigned to the Street Maintenance Tool House located at 40th Avenue West. This will also allow for expansion of fiber services to the employees at the 42nd Ave West Parks Tool House. This service will create high-speed network connectivity for data, application, and file access to other City network-connected facilities. The monthly recurring charges of $400 will be billed upon site connection completion. This will be funded through capital fund 250-015-2017-5580 ce250-e1703 for the build out cost of $17,514 and operational fund 110-117-1107-5320 for up to $4,800 annually.
City Council approved the original contract by resolution 11-0688 on December 19, 2011. Since then, the City has continually improved its connectivity by adding and/or removing fiber optic cable services as needed.
